It honestly doesn’t matter to me because I’m a white cis male and a character that represents me is literally everywhere.
I deeply believe that representation matters for all minorities because … well they are minorities.
I find it funny when the majority of society throws a fit when a new character of a different race is introduced into a series. There were so many racist comments from white people about Miles Morales it was disgusting.
It doesn't matter to me much, because I look (a bit) like Robin Hood, John McClaine, Zorro, Aquaman, Superman, Iron Man, Batman, Ilya Kuryakin, Han Solo, James Bond, Jason Bourne, Captain America, Inspector Clouseau, Flash Gordon...
I can see that it could matter to people who don't share my ethnicity. Especially as there were decades of films where the only time non-whites appeared were as villains.
I particularly like your image of Uhura. That show was ahead of its time.
It’s great for children ti see that people who look like them can do anything. It’s bad for them to see that people who look like them deserve a job/role/etc because of what they look like. It’s bad for them to see that their ability shouldn’t matter if they check the right boxes
yes representation matters. but not artificial representation of this entire lgbtq media bullshitor black lifes matter. i think things should be representated according to their social significance and not abused for political agendas that are constructed to silence opposition by framing opposition as "evil".
Representation is fine. But forced representation is not. For example, forcing in a gay character, an Asian character etc into a story just to have them in it is not ok, especially when it cheapens the story.
Of course it’s important. People who say it isn’t followed by nonsense as to why it’s bad or this or that are usually dimwits and illiterate.
Haha that's is so hilarious but which kind of characters you wish get developed
just enough of this white washing racist nazi bullshit that we see so much of history being about.
Yes I can definitely agree on white washing already established minority characters that shit get annoying.
I honestly don’t feel like it matters what group is being represented so long as the story is good and it doesn’t feel forced. I don’t think every movie or tv series needs to represent every type of person or background.
all lives matter to me not just black nit just white or any other kind all lives matter to me not just one
It's okay I guess but I don't really care. It gets to be obnoxious when it's entirely historically inaccurate. King Arthur as black. Martin Luther King as white. Like, come on people who freaking cars
representation is actually dangerous and increases racism. it tells people to pay extra attention to race and thus entrenches the idea of paying attention to it
it's part of a larger evil of academics called consociationalism. which is when you reserve spots in a society for each ethnicity... which has resulted in race war every place it is tried
I personally don't care and don't need someone to represent me, but I also understand that it's important for a lot of other people and therefore this should be embraced
I think you commented on the wrong opinion lol
I relate to things like story, motivations, values things like that I don’t relate to someone because we’re both white.
that being said representation for the sake of representation does nothing.
I can connect to almost any character through human emotion— sadness, happiness, anger, despair, exhilaration. I don’t need them to look like me or act like me to connect with them. I feel it.
I think it's really important. A person shouldn't have to search forever to only find a handful of movies that represents them. I remember being super into superhero movies as a kid and just wishing there were more women ones.
what were your faves growing up? super heroes
@Still-alive loved spiderman and still do. Woman ones I don't know if these count because there's so few good ones but Kim possible 🤣 and Charlie's angels was the shittr
sweet. yup always loved spidey.
for me though it was definitely the xmen.
Couldn't give a shit. I enjoy stories/games for the escapism, not to project myself onto the protagonist.
Only racist lsftists care about representation.. They are the ones that actively seek to remove laws that say you can't discriminate based on skin color and the like so they can hi are based on those traits not skill and merit, which are the ONLY traits that matter..
I really don't care, but society is pushing it more today and that's what is separating people. I think everyone has something to offer this world otherwise it would be a pretty boring place.
Not that important, Darth Vader already represents me, filled with hate and love at the same time but constantly being irritated by other people's stupidity, far exceeding the capabilities that unchangeable conditions should confine me to.
I'm in constant pain so much that I've learned to simply ignore it, I constantly feel imprisoned in my own body, I dislike my higherups and will surpass them, and I'm very cold towards others besides my girlfriend.
You have some representation
I would rather have a character that represents how I feel inside. How I look outside is not that important to me beyond drawing in lovers. I could wake up as a black woman tomorrow and I would not really give a shit.
Give me characters with integrity, who are intelligent and can navigate complex, morally gray questions with grace.
